How fit do I have to be to participate in the King and Queen of the Mountain?
Fitness is no limiting factor to participation as long as you can skate safely, ie skate, stop and turn.
If you want to be competitive then some fitness training is recommended.
All participants and competitors will need to demonstrate safe skating ability before being allowed to take part in the event.
